WINOL Life - Episode 1



WINOL Life is going to follow a similar format to the show produced last year, which featured Laura Barton. We are going to invite guests in to watch our features, giving them a chance to give us feedback and constructive criticism.


We filmed our first WINOL Life today. The production of the show was good. Our first guest for this year was Sally Churchward, feature writer from the Daily Echo. Our attitude towards guests needs to be improved in future weeks. We need to learn not to be afraid of the guests, they were at our stage once too. And it’s all about contacts. We should all be feeling able to approach any of the guest editors and speak to them/show them any packages and get their feedback. Today I couldn’t help but feel the awkward atmosphere towards Sally and how she was very unsure of what was going on.


In future I think it is essential for the person who booked the guest editor to be the one to stay with them and make sure they are aware of everything they are involved in. For example, as Justina had invited Sally in, she should have been with her for longer to begin with. We were rushed as Sports Week needed to be filmed, however it felt as though the guest was placed in front of the camera straight away without a warm welcome.


Organisation is essential for WINOL Life. As Justina is producer of the show, she needs to step back and assign roles to all other members of the WINOL Life team. This will ensure that the guests feel more comfortable with the situation and everything is explained to them. All other members of the team need to make sure they are free every other Tuesday and need to be aware of the role they are to perform for the show. The quality of the show will enhance vastly if these elements are improved.


Very good start to the series of WINOL Life, well done to all the team. We have more guests booked for the next few episodes – the more guests we have the more constructive criticism we will receive which is crucial.
